Candy Crush Saga is quite well named. Bejeweled is really just a single puzzle game but Candy Crush Saga is composed of hundreds of distinct puzzle games. These games are laid out along a winding path that takes you through themed regions. When you enter a new region the next game you encounter often introduces a new play mechanism, then most of the games in that region utilize the new feature in different ways combining with features seen in earlier regions.
So while you are playing a series of candy crushing puzzle games, you are also progressing in a long and arduous journey - a "saga", if you will - in which you constantly encounter new challenges and gradually get to see new pieces of the map/landscape.
(I'm currently on level 617 of the main screen, which means my own saga has most recently taken me into a region called "Cereal Sea". The most recently-added new play mechanisms were (1) a frog that eats appropriately-colored matching candy (and can then be forced to explode and/or relocate), (2) conveyer belts that carry candy around parts of the playing field.)
